Entering Wekiwa Springs State Park

SHUTTLE RUN | Self Guided Paddle
8.5 Miles/4.5 Hours (return shuttle is included, EXPERIENCED PADDLERS ONLY)

The Shuttle Run is a self guided paddle downstream 8.5 miles, from our launch at King's Landing, to our dock located at Wekiva Island. This starts with clear water and as you travel downstream the water becomes more tannic, which creates the perfect environment for larger turtles, fish, birds, and alligators. It is likely that you will come across an abundant amount of wildlife. Return transportation is provided back to King's Landing. This paddle adventure takes on average 4.5 hours and paddle experience is required. Bring your own vessel or rent a kayak to explore this untouched wild Florida oasis.

​

* This trip does not include Emerald Cut. If you would like to paddle the scenic Emerald Cut in addition to the 8.5 mile Shuttle trip, please plan on launching no later 8:30am as this will add an additional 2 miles to your trip *
